My Review of Halloween is Murder!
Halloween is Murder is a spooktacular holiday tale, with lots of tricks and treat and an intriguing cast of characters. Sean and Sara McKinley own a PI Firm. After a reporter does a segment on their Halloween haunted house charity fund-raiser, the reporter turns up dead. Sara convinces Sean to take on the investigation. The skeletons they turn up searching though the reporter’s proverbial closet will surprise you.
I enjoyed Carolyn’s quirky characters set in a back drop of the tough news reporting industry and my favorite holiday — Halloween. If you like your murder mysteries served with a dash of romance and humor, you don’t want to miss Halloween is Murder.
5 stars in my haunted Halloween sky!
That’s what she told herself anyhow. She’d lost count of how many times she’d
called them, but she had always met with a busy signal. And there it was again…
One could be certain that the station had plenty of rollover lines, so it had
to be other people calling in about Chloe’s death, too. Other crazy people like
her wanting answers. At least, she was sure that Sean thought she was crazy,
but she had a niggling sensation in her gut that they needed to look into
Chloe’s death.
were surrounded by murder wherever they looked and wherever they went. Even
when they were supposed to be relaxing on their honeymoon, a case had found
them. And the inclination to view any death as suspicious was embedded in her
psyche from years working as a homicide detective with the Albany PD. Sure,
Chloe could have died from natural causes, an accident, or even suicide, but it
was also just as likely that someone had caused her death intentionally. To
quiet her mind, Sara had to find out which scenario applied to Chloe. And if
her calls weren’t making it through, there was another route she could take.
that she had the habit of leaving her computer on most of the time. She brought
up an Internet search engine and typed in Chloe’s full name and Your Source.
This brought up pages of results. The first entry was a post from the
television station entitled, DEATH OF LOCAL REPORTER CASTS DARK CLOUD OVER
ALBANY. Sara clicked to open the link.
she was no closer to knowing what had happened to Chloe. There was no cause of
death listed, but rather, the piece read like an obituary with a recap of
Chloe’s career accomplishments and brief mentions of her personal life—she had
a sister and had died single. That was it. Somehow it seemed like a sad
summation of a twenty-five-year-old woman’s life that had been cut so short.
There was so much that Chloe had yet to experience, and Sara hoped that Chloe
had at least known romantic love at some point in her life. Sara
returned to her search results and clicked on many of the other links, but they
were more or less copycats of the statement Your Source had published.

I have an idea that Sara can talk Sean into most anything, like investigating the death of the reporter. I adore strong female characters and the men they love. 🙂
Murder case on their honeymoon? Now that’s dedication.
All of your series sound sensational!
Sandy, thanks for stopping by. I just love Halloween tales! Heck I love Halloween!
